Called to Jury Duty

[fightingquaker13]

I have been called to jury duty, in Federal court. I will, of course show up and serve.BUT if I make it through voir diere you should despair for the justice sytem. Political party? Libertarian. Position on drugs? Legalize. Hate crimes? An offense against the 1A.Profession? Con law/polisci prof and yes I do think I know the law as well as you your honor. BTW, jury nullification was endorsed by James Madison.
We will see how it goes. Further updates will be provided as warranted and I do hope they place me on a jury. Its the most important civilian service you can give to your country. I just won't mention THIS site, so as to avoid being kicked off for cause.

Quote Ted Nugent, regarding offenders....I don't know what the pay is now, but in NC I was paid a whole $12.00 a day, with free parking.

I need a Whoo Hoo smiley....

My Father was selected years ago and was seated for a murder trial that lasted 3 weeks.

All for a 4 hour deliberation, to find him guilty...

Good Luck??

Quaker,
You will not make it 5 minutes into voir diere before they toss you, and that will probably be by the judge. A little dirty secret you already know is they do NOT want enlightened, knowledgeable people on the jury- no critical thinkers. They want people that are malleable, or gullible. I offer the O.J. Simpson jury as evidence for my postulation.

I want to read all about your experience.....

You know the sad thing about the OJ trial? One of the jurors wrote an article (I think for Time, but its been a while). She said that the majority view was that he was guilty as hell. The problem was that Mark Furman and his partner (spacing on the name) had planted and contaminated evidence and that prohibited them from finding him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. She said she wanted to convict but that these two idiots made it impossible because there was a plausible "what if". Guilty, but framed. I don't know whether to take her seriously or not, but it has to be a damn scary thing to litterally have someone's life in your hands. I've never been there before and hope I get a civil suit rather than a murder trial. But being So Fl who knows. We will see.

I got called for jury duty a month ago, made it through lunch but got kicked when they found out that I took medications that would require me to pee every 20 minutes for the first few hours after I take it. They also kicked a local cop who said she knew most of the officers who might be called as witnesses - one was her supervisor.

I have been seated on civil and criminal juries at least 5 or 6 times. I always enjoyed the cases and I was glad to do my duty. Every experience has been fascinating. I am actually disappointed if I'm not seated.

I've been called 5 times, sat on four of them, I tired every thing to get out.  acting like a racist, 'if they arrested him, he is guilty",  Its not that I mind doing my civic duty, but I know peopl e that have never been called, and they have been retired 30 years.
